"Yea, Hath God Said?""Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field..." (Genesis 3:1 KJV)One of Satan's most effective weapons is not open rebellion against God's Word—it is subtle corruption of God's Word.In Eden, the serpent did not begin by telling Eve to commit adultery, steal, murder, or worship idols. He began by questioning what God had said: "Yea, hath God said?"Even today, the devil often uses God's words, but never honestly. He twists, removes, adds, redefines, and misapplies truth to produce deception. He quoted Scripture to Eve indirectly. He quoted Scripture to the Lord Jesus in the wilderness. Yet every time, his purpose was not obedience, but deception.A half-truth is still a lie when it is used to contradict God's truth.Many believers fall, not because they reject the Bible outright, but because they accept a distorted version of what God said.The safest place for a Christian is not merely knowing a verse, but knowing what God actually meant when He gave it.The devil's strategy has not changed: Question God's Word. Doubt God's Word. Disobey God's Word."Thy word is true from the beginning." (Psalm 119:160 KJV)
